We understood kids under 19 could not live full-time in The Villages.
Why is there a high school ?
Thanks Will

The charter schools here are among the top ranked in the nation, and the new campus rivals most small colleges.

The excellent charter schools are a major factor in recruiting quality employees.

True. A complete non-sequitur to the topic of this thread, but true.

it says: other than a lease. It also says: paid directly by The Villages Company.

Did you know first responders don't qualify? They don't work for the developer.

Check the Niche site. The Villages charter schools are among the worst in the nation.

Guess it depends where you look or what criteria is being used by the particular site. In this ranking and this ranking The Villages Charter Schools are in the top 10% nationwide.

I am thinking as T V creeps further and further south there will be much less over 55 and more under 55 districts. (Baby boomers are kicking the bucket so move on over to where the $$ is.)

Why have under 55 areas? To help support the local businesses. Why have charter schools? Better education with the added financial state funding $$ benefit added to local taxes. Good business strategy.

Yes, anyone can buy a house in Middleton. There are more than a few "seniors" who bought there, because they like the idea of a "mixed age" neighborhood...

Or, they like the idea of less crowded pickleball courts, pool, etc. While most of the neighborhood is working or at school, the amenities are ALL YOURS. It also doesn't hurt that the homes are cheaper for whatever reason. They are the same models as the Villages.
